Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green AatgatSt F7oaOer and BoSc7tee'S
German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the rs cent size. The
AugaGSt FzOaOer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicine in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 15c remain the same size.

Of the county should take delight in
rendering all assistance in his power
to make it the grandest gathering
ever held in the county. Let every
body strive to add to the success Of

Died.

|
AT the County Infirmary, June 10, 1887,
John Levi, aged 76 years., 7 months and 9
days.
Deceased was born in Little York, Y ork
| County, Pennsylvania, November 2, 1910.
AT the age of 25, he married Mary Miller,
and removed to Copp's Settlement, Clar-
ion County, Pa, and bought farm of
169 acres, where his wife and five children
two boys and three girls-still reside.
He served 27 months in the army during
the Mexican War, under Col. Black, of
Pittsburg, in Company F, Fourth Penn
sylvania Infantry. Was wounded at
Monterey, by saber stroke across the
face, destroying his left eye He, in turn,
killed his assailant by a bayonet thrust
through the breast. He was discharged
on account of disability, at Vera Cruz.
Owing to domestic difficulties he left
Clarion county, Pa, and came to Jackson
county, Ohio, about the year 1850, where
he remained until his death. For years
he led recluse life, living alone in rail
pen by the roadside, obtaining a subsist-
ence by begging, and digging sassafras,
woods, and carrying them to market in a
sack on his shoulder.
He became public charge and was ad-
mitted to the County Infrmary, Novem-
Der 26, 1S75-for
Heads w hp owng With be s ashes and feet
We send lover the hills to the or-house' for love-
and, it may be, for bread.
But his old habit of begging still clung
to him, and as long as he was able to
walk, he might be seen at all hours, and
in all seasons, on the highway, or about
the streets of Jackson, with his sack on
his shoulder, sometimes empty, at other
times filled with stale bread, meat scraps,
old clothes, cigar stumps and whatever
else he could beg or pick up in the alleys.
Application was made, October 27, 1885,,
for his admission to the National Militia
ry Home at Dayton, Ohio, but owing to
the crowded condition of the Home, he
he was told to wait, and on the 21st of
May last, he was notified that his appli-
cation would be considered if he still de-
sired to avail himself of the benefits of
the Home. 1t was then too late, as he
was unable to bear the fatigue of so long
a journey.
He had fair education, could read both
English and German, wrote a legible
hand, and kept himself posted in politics
and the current events of the day.
In his sober, reflective moments, he
talked much of "Old Pennsylvania" and
spoke regretfully of his wasted life, which
he knew was drawing to a close, and he
died as he had lived, without friend or
an enemy.
Who shall judge man from nature?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.

country ought to make a pilgrimage

Government; every soldiers grave will
stand as a perpetual witness against
accursed the action Of the Copperhead
President; every tottering form, every
gaping wound, every severed limb,
cries out against this dastardly con-
duct; every soldiers widow and every
soldier orphan, should be permitted
to get one good whack with club, at
that part Of the United States Gov
ernment that was recently planted
upon the banks Of Lake Saranac.
Compared with this action, that of j.
Wilkes Booth was none the more
wicked in intent. What the soldiers
struggled and died for, Grover Cleve-
land, at the bidding of the nephew Of
Bob Lee, attempts to pillage from the
places that have been sealed by loyal
blood, and to do it in the name Of an
alleged right Of his Presidential Office.
It is the most disreputable, disgusting,
horrible piece Of work ever presented
to the American people since Wirz
starved and murdered Union soldiers
in Andersonville, and the Solid South
spoke through Wilkes Booth at Ford's
Theater in Washington.
